Qdoba Mexican Grill—Multiple Locations, Find Location Qdoba is like a Mexican Subway. Pick your burrito, tacos or nachos and pick the toppings to go on it. It is a good place to go and grab a quick burrito when you are short on time. The burritos are huge. Qdoba has very good burritos and great queso cheese dip. The best thing to do is to get the queso on the burrito. I like the queso burrito with chicken. I went back again and got the shredded beef queso burrito. They are both very good. The shredded beef is tender and something different than just getting chicken. The nachos always look good. Next time I go back I am going to get the nachos.
Prices: I ordered a shredded beef queso burrito and a drink for around $8. |

St. Louis Bread Company—Multiple Locations
The St. Louis Bread Co. has grown tremendously over the past 6 years or so, and they have become annoyingly big. Service has suffered, prices have risen and I can hardly find a place to sit at lunch time. I remember when I could place a special order and they would not mess anything up, now it is a rarity when I place a special order and something is not messed up. I also remember when two people could eat at The St. Louis Bread Co. and it would cost under $12, now it is hard for two people to eat there and it cost under $20. |

Jimmy John’s—Multiple Locations
Jimmy John’s is a sub sandwich shop that is fairly new to the St. Louis area. On the inside of the Jimmy John’s there are signs that try to be funny. Jimmy John’s claims to make subs “so fast you will freak.” It is not hard to make subs that fast when you have no options on what goes on the sub. I used to like Jimmy John’s when they first came to St. Louis, but then I thought why am I eating this when I could be eating Penn Station or the countless number of other sandwich shops which serve both hot and cold sandwiches. You can’t compare a Jimmy John’s to a Penn Station, Penn Station is 10 times better. I guess my problem with Jimmy John’s is that I got sick of their food. It doesn’t sound good to me anymore.
Jimmy John’s does have good bread. That is one thing that is good about them. They also have a variety of sandwiches, but it is basically a choice between cold turkey, roast beef, ham, or salami, and if I wanted one of those sandwiches I could find 10 other places I would rather get one. Their meats are average and the toppings are the usual lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise. When I go I get the Bootlegger Club. This is a turkey and roast beef sandwich, but it doesn’t come with cheese, what a rip-off. I have to ask for cheese and it cost extra.
Prices: About $6.25 for a sandwich |
